The Holidays!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I've totally forgotten about posting anything on here. I haven't done too much that is interesting except take on a homeless person. My friend and bridesmaid, Lauren, is moving in with us this weekend. It will be tight living conditions for awhile with her, her dog-Tucker, Onyx, Steve and I in a 2 bedroom apartment. At least our lease ends in March so if it's too tight we can always go somewhere else. Her plan is to move to Charlotte soon so hopefully she'll be able to do that with the horrible economy.

The only recent pictures I have are of one night when Steve and I went to Bridges in Fairfax to meet up with some friends and I have a few pictures from the employee reunion party and a few at my friend Jess' wedding which was last weekend. She looked beautiful as usual and the wedding was a good time. The only thing is that now that her wedding is over, I'm feeling the pressure of ours creeping closer. Next Tuesday will be our 5 month out mark. Yikes! I also just found out that my dress is in and I'm going this Saturday to try it on and pay the balance. Well, mom is paying the balance and seeing it in person for the first time. We are also in our last steps of booking vendors. We chose to do a ice cream wedding cake which should be surpriseingly cheaper than a normal cake and we have to drop off the deposit for the florist and checkout some hotels to book and I need to finally decide on the bridesmaids dresses. Hopefully, it will all come together and look nice and turn out great but I definitely don't feel ready for it yet.

Thanksgiving was a BUSY weekend to say the least. We had an employee reunion party at Brion's Grille on Wednesday night, Thanksgiving at Aunt Susie's on Thursday and left from there to got o Fredericksburg until Saturday, had another Thanksgiving feast there and then left early Saturday morning to go to Jess' wedding. By Sunday, I was exhausted. Kim bought me my first wedding present on Black Friday. I had pointed out a Kitchen Aid that I wanted and they went out shopping at 3:30am and picked it up for me. Crazy! I'm totally excited to use it. Aunt Susie's was a good time with 12 cats, 12 people and 3 dogs. She cooked more food than I had seen someone cook in my life and it was all delicious.

So, here are some pictures...
